How to Automatically Back Up All Pictures on Your Android Phone to Google+

You can back up all the pictures from your phone to Google+ automatically by configuring the settings of your Google account in the Android phone, or with a built-in app named Photos.

Note: The Photos app is present only in the Kitkat version of the Android operating system. If your mobile phone does not have Kitkat installed in it, make sure you upgrade your phone, or use any other third-party app in order to get the job done.

While using the Photos app, when you enable the automatic backup option, it automatically and instantaneously uploads all the photos from the Android phone to the Photos section of the Google+ account.

After backing up, you can access all the backed up photos from your Google+ account using any web browser on your Android phone.

In case you lose your photos due to any reason, you can restore them by going to Google+>Photos on your Android mobile phone’s browser.

Follow the steps below to enable automatic backup of the photos on your Android Phone:

■Power on your Android mobile phone.
■Once the phone is unlocked, tap the Menu button to open the apps list.

■Tap the switch located on the top-right corner of the screen to turn on the Sync or Auto-Backup feature of the Photos app to take automatic back up of the photos to the Google+ account.
